I am glad to announce a new paper entitled "Reconsidering Jericho" accesible 
in 
the web, as usually under the adress:

http://www.abara2.de/chronologie/

It deals largely with known and unknown facts concerning the archaeology of 
Jericho, and how they may be relevant to our understanding of the book of 
Joshua.

Level LXXXIII (in trench III of Kathleen Kenyon) is identified as a level 
chronologically corresponding to my attribution of the Exodus to the MB age. 
And 
as well corresponding the biblical description of Jericho. I invite however 
to 
caution before accepting the tradition imbued view concerning the sudden fall 
of 
"the" walls of Jericho.

Even the mute witness of a kerem victim, the only skeleton attesting a 
violent 
death ever found in Jericho, might point to this Middle Bronze age level as a 
serious identification candidate with Joshuas Jericho.

All the best,

Bányai Michael
